I was wondering if anyone has a problem with wide seatstays on their SB-95C? Was reading a raview of the bike on mtbr where they mentioned this problem causing heel strikes on the frame. I am about to pull the trigger on this bike but would like to clarify if this is a problem or not.

I've never had a PROBLEM from the seatstays (on my '12 95a), but I did notice some rub on the frame from my heel or calves.

So I put some protective tape on the frame to prevent paint rub, haven't thought about it since.

No issues with with 13 carbon. I guess it depends on how you peddle and the angle of your foot.

Ok, thanks for reply guys. Some protective tape will probably do the trick then

It's not that much of a problem for me and my big (size 10 UK) feet. I get a little more contact with one pair of shoes (Teva Pivots) than I do with others such as Bontrager Rhythm or Shimano MX30's but I have my frame wrapped with an Invisishield kit so it doesn't really effect anything for me..
